2009-11-10x86: Under BIOS control, restore AP's APIC_LVTTHMR to the BSP valueYong Wang
On platforms where the BIOS handles the thermal monitor interrupt, APIC_LVTTHMR on each logical CPU is programmed to generate a SMI and OS must not touch it. Unfortunately AP bringup sequence using INIT-SIPI-SIPI clears all the LVT entries except the mask bit. Essentially this results in all LVT entries including the thermal monitoring interrupt set to masked (clearing the bios programmed value for APIC_LVTTHMR). And this leads to kernel take over the thermal monitoring interrupt on AP's but not on BSP (leaving the bios programmed value only on BSP). As a result of this, we have seen system hangs when the thermal monitoring interrupt is generated. Fix this by reading the initial value of thermal LVT entry on BSP and if bios has taken over the control, then program the same value on all AP's and leave the thermal monitoring interrupt control on all the logical cpu's to the bios.

Prefix global/setup routines with "mcheck_" thus differentiating from the internal facilities prefixed with "mce_". Also, prefix the per cpu calls with mcheck_cpu and rename them to reflect the MCE setup hierarchy of calls better. There should be no functionality change resulting from this patch.

2009-10-16x86: Don't print number of MCE banks for every CPURoland Dreier
The MCE initialization code explicitly says it doesn't handle asymmetric configurations where different CPUs support different numbers of MCE banks, and it prints a big warning in that case. Therefore, printing the "mce: CPU supports <x> MCE banks" message into the kernel log for every CPU is pure redundancy that clutters the log significantly for systems with lots of CPUs.

2009-10-16x86, UV: Fix information in __uv_hub_info structureRobin Holt
A few parts of the uv_hub_info structure are initialized incorrectly. - n_val is being loaded with m_val. - gpa_mask is initialized with a bytes instead of an unsigned long. - Handle the case where none of the alias registers are used. Lastly I converted the bau over to using the uv_hub_info->m_val which is the correct value. Without this patch, booting a large configuration hits a problem where the upper bits of the gnode affect the pnode and the bau will not operate.

2009-10-15KEYS: get_instantiation_keyring() should inc the keyring refcount in all casesDavid Howells
The destination keyring specified to request_key() and co. is made available to the process that instantiates the key (the slave process started by /sbin/request-key typically). This is passed in the request_key_auth struct as the dest_keyring member. keyctl_instantiate_key and keyctl_negate_key() call get_instantiation_keyring() to get the keyring to attach the newly constructed key to at the end of instantiation. This may be given a specific keyring into which a link will be made later, or it may be asked to find the keyring passed to request_key(). In the former case, it returns a keyring with the refcount incremented by lookup_user_key(); in the latter case, it returns the keyring from the request_key_auth struct - and does _not_ increment the refcount. The latter case will eventually result in an oops when the keyring prematurely runs out of references and gets destroyed. The effect may take some time to show up as the key is destroyed lazily. To fix this, the keyring returned by get_instantiation_keyring() must always have its refcount incremented, no matter where it comes from. This can be tested by setting /etc/request-key.conf to: #OP TYPE DESCRIPTION CALLOUT INFO PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ... #====== ======= =============== =============== =============================== create * test:* * |/bin/false %u %g %d %{user:_display} negate * * * /bin/keyctl negate %k 10 @u and then doing: keyctl add user _display aaaaaaaa @u while keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u && keyctl list @u; do keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u; sleep 31; keyctl list @u; done which will oops eventually. Changing the negate line to have @u rather than %S at the end is important as that forces the latter case by passing a special keyring ID rather than an actual keyring ID.

There is a possible race condition in clockdomain code handling hw supported idle transitions. When multiple autodeps dependencies are being added or removed, a transition of still remaining dependent powerdomain can result in false readings of the state counter. This is especially fatal for off mode state counter, as it could result in a driver not noticing a context loss. Fixed by disabling hw supported state transitions when autodeps are being changed.

2009-10-14sysfs: Allow sysfs_notify_dirent to be called from interrupt context.Neil Brown
sysfs_notify_dirent is a simple atomic operation that can be used to alert user-space that new data can be read from a sysfs attribute. Unfortunately it cannot currently be called from non-process context because of its use of spin_lock which is sometimes taken with interrupts enabled. So change all lockers of sysfs_open_dirent_lock to disable interrupts, thus making sysfs_notify_dirent safe to be called from non-process context (as drivers/md does in md_safemode_timeout). sysfs_get_open_dirent is (documented as being) only called from process context, so it uses spin_lock_irq. Other places use spin_lock_irqsave. The usage for sysfs_notify_dirent in md_safemode_timeout was introduced in 2.6.28, so this patch is suitable for that and more recent kernels.

2009-10-14tty: use the new 'flush_delayed_work()' helper to do ldisc flushLinus Torvalds
This way all flush_to_ldisc work is always done through the workqueues, and we thus have a single point of serialization. It also means that we can avoid calling flush_to_ldisc() entirely if there was no delayed work pending. [ Side note: using workqueues and keventd as the single way to enter flush_to_ldisc() still doesn't absolutely guarantee that we can't have concurrency: keventd is multithreaded and has a thread per CPU, and while the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING bit guarantees a single work only being on the pending list once, the work might be both pending and _running_ at the same time. Workqueues are not simple. ] This was also confirmed to fix bugzilla #14388, even without the earlier locking fix and cleanup (commit c8e331419: "tty: Make flush_to_ldisc() locking more robust"). So both commits fix the same bug differently, and either would have worked on its own. But I'm committing them both since they are cleanups independent of each other.
